PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said Thursday that immigration officials have ceased their “enhanced operations” in the state, the site of an enforcement surge and more than 200 arrests since last week. “There are currently no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations here,” Collins said in a statement, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Collins’ announcement comes more than a week after immigration officers began an operation dubbed “Catch of the Day” by ICE. “ICE operations in Maine have failed to improve public safety and have caused lasting damage to our communities. She also called on Collins to act after the House’s GOP majority defeated Democrats’ efforts to curtail ICE funding.
